The idiots are at it again

Just ten days after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto,a murder that galvanized Pakistanis into grief and violent reactions, and cast immediate suspicion on that country's president for complicity in her death, U.S. President Bush is now signaling "covert CIA operations" to combat what he perceives as a resurgence of al Quaida and the Taliban in Pakistan.

Today's NY Times reports that Bush met with senior security advisers to discuss infiltration by U.S. military and intelligence operatives. There was no official statement but the article states that more aggressive measures are being considered to stabilize the Pakistani government. In other words, call in the calvary - because Musharraff is faltering. It's not enough that the U.S. has already poured billions of dollars into Musharraff's coffers. Pity that Bush's brain is telescopic and his responses always militaristic. A pity that he cannot let go of his Reaganesque crusade against the demons of world terrorism. Such a pity that he defends terrorism, oppression, injustice, stupidity and greed in his allies and yet leads an offensive against those terrorists he cannot (or will not) capture. To capture someone like bin Laden means his affair as savior of the world must end.

This is nothing but the shade of the Iraq invasion. The figures are murkier. The motives less defined. But the public will be asked to participate, as defenders of democracy, because Pakistan has nuclear power, and woe, the infidels may be astir!

Someone needs a slap - a collective jerk - something to awaken logic - to recognize fabrication. How much longer will the U.S. idly follow this idiot? How much longer will journalists, the Congress, your neighbor, abide this drumroll, Bush's ongoing call to arms and alarms?

It has begun already - hope comes with the Huckleberry - that unwinnable contestant - and the vigor of Obama, Hillary's steel. Get Bush out before he ruins the world (any further).
